I got married in 2012. My husband and in-laws kept me with them for just two months, during which I faced severe violence and harassment. I’ve been living with my parents since then. We reported the abuse to the police, but they didn’t take any action. What can we do now?

You can file a complaint with the National Commission for Women or the State Commission for Women. You can also file a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and the Indian Penal Code for the offences committed against you.
